Orlando Dr. Phillips point guard Shane Larkin is one of the top 2011 prospects in Florida.
Larkin, 5-10, 160, is the son of former 12-time MLB All-Star Barry Larkin, and is coming off a solid sophomore season as he averaged 13.0 points, 6.0 assists, 3.4 rebounds, and 3.1 steals per game earning team MVP honors as the Panthers went 27-3.
There are over a dozen schools tracking Larkin, who plays with the Florida Assault/Showtime Ballers during the summer. Miami, Alabama, Clemson, South Florida, South Carolina, George Mason, Florida State, Cincinnati, VCU, Kansas State, Georgia, Ole Miss, Wake Forest, and Central Florida are paying close attention to the sharpshooter.

Larkin is a scoring point guard who is always pushing the ball in transition, which places pressure on the defense. He will go coast to coast for the layup or stop and shoot a pull-up 3-pointer. In the half court, he can play well in a two-man pick-and-pop game; he can drive the lane with quickness or shoot behind a screen. He needs to utilize his floater more often when he gets in the lane and to develop a strong dribble pull-up jumper. At times, he overpenetrates and leaves his feet and that's when he gets in trouble with a turnover or bad shot. We know he can score and he must continue to hone his ability to create for his teammates and demonstrate that he can run a team with his scoring ability. You can easily see he enjoys the game and loves to compete.
